Your role at Kittl
You will own design across one of Kittl's core product surfaces (editor, AI, or growth), shaping the experiences that turn first-time consumer and prosumer users into repeat creators. Reporting to the Head of Product Design, you'll set the craft bar for your area and operate as a peer to PM and Engineering, bringing user evidence and a strong point of view to every roadmap conversation. Your work will directly influence activation, retention, and the quality of the AI-assisted creation experience millions of creators depend on. You'll move from research to shipped product without handoffs, and your decisions will compound across the platform.

What You'll Need
Experience: Minimum 6 years designing digital products, with at least 2 years shipping consumer or prosumer products at scalePortfolio: Strong portfolio showing end-to-end ownership including research, interaction design, visual craft, and shipped outcomes you can point toAI design experience: Hands-on experience designing for AI-driven or generative product surfaces, or a strong track record that translates to itProductive disagreement skills: Track record of disagreeing well and committing fully - holding positions with evidence and moving forward decisively once a call is madeBias for action: High quality bar combined with speed, delivering work that needs few iterations and beating deadlines rather than just meeting them
